What this video covers
The Hanse 460 is a 46-foot 6-inch coastal cruiser with a 15.9-foot beam and a displacement of approximately 30,000 pounds.4:20 Designed by Berret-Racoupeau, the vessel features a reverse bow, flush-mounted multi-hinged hatches, and a self-tacking jib.2:34 The rig includes a deck-stepped mast with a 71-foot air draft, making it unsuitable for the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW).5:50 Propulsion options include a Yanmar 57 or 80 horsepower engine with a sail drive.7:01 The interior offers multiple layout configurations, including four-stateroom or four-head options, and features electric-operated saloon tables and pop-up televisions.6:18 While the boat performs well in sail tests, tacking through 80 degrees, it lacks a traditional traveler, relying instead on a coach-top bridle system.3:30 Marketed as a luxury coastal cruiser, the Hanse 460 typically retails for approximately $650,000 as optioned.7:33 Compared to competitors like the Catalina 445, the Hanse 460 prioritizes interior volume and social space over offshore-ready features like a U-shaped galley or accessible maintenance points for through-hulls and wiring.9:51
